Green roofs and asphalt – a peerless combination

Rock is the supplier of the Ultimate Green Roof, an extensive and highly flexible system which has been employed by architects and developers to enhance all types of buildings. A flat roof designed to support plant life is, of course, only viable when combined with an efficient waterproofing solution. Adaptable, cost-efficient and extremely robust, asphalt is the first choice for many applications. But for green roofs especially, its capabilities have been proven time and time again.

The landscaped terraces we created for Watermark Place, one of the City’s newest and most prestigious developments, is supported by our Flexiphalte Triple Protection, a mastic asphalt that ensures complete peace of mind. On an earlier project, we supplied £7million of asphalt for Paradise Street, located at the heart of the Liverpool ONE retail complex. This was a buried podium deck with a green roof, which represents a very demanding environment for waterproofing. Such is our asphalt’s durability, however, that in the five years since installation, Rock have never once been called back for even the most minor repair work.
